Purpose An efficient and fully automated radiosynthesis of 2-[18F]fluoro-9-β-d-arabinofuranosyl-adenine (2-[18F]fludarabine, [18F]-5) based on a GE TRACERlab?FX-FN module has been developed. Procedures A 2-nitro purine derivative 3 was developed as precursor for labeling with fluorine-18. The radiosynthesis of [18F]-5 was performed in two steps in a single reactor with an intermediary purification on Sep-Pak? silica which involved the addition of a three-way valve on the original module. After hydrolysis, [18F]-5 was purified by semi-preparative high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a quality control was established. Results The labeling precursor 3 was obtained in 45?% overall yield. Nucleophilic substitution with K18F/K2.2.2 afforded protected 2-[18F]fludarabine ([18F]-4) in 73?±-?% , radiochemical yield (decay corrected to the end of bombardment (EOB)) and based on the initial [18F]F?/sup> activity. An aqueous ammonia/methanol solution was used for the deprotection reaction and gave the desired [18F]-5 in 67?±-?% yield after 20?min at 70?°C based on HPLC profile. Conclusions The process afforded pure 2-[18F]fludarabine in 48?±-?% yield (decay corrected to the EOB) in 85?min, with a specific activity of 310?±-2?GBq/μmol at the end of synthesis (EOS) and a radiochemical purity up to 99?%.
